Reggie Bullock Will Miss Friday’s Contest
New York Knicks shooting guard/small forward Reggie Bullock (neck) has been ruled out for Friday's game versus Cleveland due to continued neck soreness. Bullock has now missed each of the team's previous three outings, paving the way for Alec Burks to remain among the starting five. When healthy, Bullock has started every game that he […]
Derrick Jones Jr. Avoids Serious Foot Injury
Portland Trail Blazers small/power forward Derrick Jones Jr. (foot) departed Thursday's contest against Houston with a foot injury that did not show a fracture upon undergoing X-rays. Jones has started all 17 games for Portland this season, but has shown limited offensive upside, scoring in double figures just three times, one of which included Thursday. […]
Kevin Durant Ruled Out For Friday's Game
Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant (Achilles) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Nets have been playing Durant heavy minutes each night, so giving him and his Achilles a break in a game that should be winnable without Durant makes sense, even if it's a bit surprising that he […]
Kawhi Leonard, Paul George Available On Friday
Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard and guard Paul George have been cleared from the league's health and safety protocols and are available to play Friday against the Orlando Magic. If cleared, we'd see fewer minutes for Luke Kennard and Terance Mann, who would go from intriguing DFS value plays to being off of the […]
Cam Reddish Upgraded To Probable
Atlanta Hawks forward Cam Reddish (quadriceps) has been upgraded to probable for Friday's meeting with the Washington Wizards. Reddish played 35 minutes against the Nets in Atlanta's last game, but his quadriceps issue could lead to a slightly smaller role for the second-year forward in Friday's game. Coming off his highest-scoring game of the season, […]
Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, James Harden To Lose Minutes?
Brooklyn Nets head coach Steve Nash says that he'd like to reduce minutes for the team's three star players -- forward Kevin Durant and guards James Harden and Kyrie Irving. All three are averaging at least 35 minutes per game, something that's especially concerning with Durant and Irving's past injury issues. But Brooklyn's lack of […]
No Timetable For Jaren Jackson Jr., Justise Winslow
Memphis Grizzlies head coach Taylor Jenkins said on Thursday that the team has no update on when forwards Jaren Jackson Jr. (knee) or Justise Winslow (hip) will return to the team. Not having a set date for the return of the pair isn't great for fantasy managers, but a return for Jackson in the near […]

LeBron James Goes Cold In Second Half Versus Pistons
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James started off a perfect 7-for-7 from the field against the Pistons on Thursday, and with Anthony Davis (quadriceps) out, he was set for a monster night, but he ended up getting only two points in the second half and had a disappointing 22-point performance. LeBron finished with 8-for-19 shooting […]
Avery Bradley And Andre Iguodala Ruled Out Thursday
News keeps getting worse for the Miami Heat as guard Avery Bradley (knee) and forward Andre Iguodala (neck) were ruled out Thursday against the Los Angeles Clippers. The Heat are already without Jimmy Butler (health and safety protocols) and Goran Dragic (groin) so they will be heavily depleted on the wing. The good news is […]
OG Anunoby Could Miss Friday's Game
Toronto Raptors forward OG Anunoby (calf) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Sacramento Kings. He wasn't able to suit up on Wednesday, which was a big blow to the team. Anunoby has stepped up his game recently with Pascal Siakam struggling. Norman Powell stands to gain the most fantasy value, assuming Anunoby […]
Jimmy Butler Unlikely To Play Versus Clippers
Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler doesn't sound like he'll be suiting up for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. He has been sidelined since early January while following the NBA's health and safety protocols. Butler is expected to be eased back into the rotation whenever he's cleared to play. Until then, Kendrick Nunn is […]
LeBron James, Anthony Davis Questionable Versus Pistons
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) and center Anthony Davis (knee) are listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Both injuries appear to be minor, but the Lakers like to list them on the injury report anyway. It's highly unlikely that either of them sit out for this game. Fantasy managers […]
Brandon Ingram Scores Season-High 32 Points
New Orleans Pelicans small forward Brandon Ingram had one of his best games so far this year in Wednesday night's 124-106 win over the Washington Wizards. Ingram scored a season-high 32 points while shooting 12-for-19 from the field, including 7-for-12 from downtown. He also added eight assists and six rebounds in the game to go […]
Jayson Tatum Scores Game-High 25 Points On Wednesday
Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum dropped 25 points to lead all scorers in Wednesday night's 110-106 loss to the San Antonio Spurs. He shot 11-for-25 from the field and 3-for-4 from the line, but failed to hit a three in the game which hadn't happened yet this year as he's averaged a stellar 3.2 threes […]
Luka Doncic Scores 30 Points In Loss To Jazz
Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic scored a team-high 30 points on 13-for-24 shooting on Wednesday, but it wasn't enough to get the Mavericks past Utah. Doncic was 2-for-7 from three and added four rebounds and six assists as well. Averaging slightly fewer points per game this year than he did last season, Doncic is on […]
Norman Powell Continues Hot Streak
Toronto Raptors forward Norman Powell scored a team-high 26 points on 8-for-13 shooting in Wednesday's loss to the Milwaukee Bucks. Powell also added five rebounds, two assists, and two steals. He was 5-for-7 from three. This is now four games in a row in which Powell has scored 20 or more points. His current expanded […]
Giannis Antetokounmpo Grabs 18 Rebounds
Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 24 points on 8-for-14 shooting in Wednesday's win over the Toronto Raptors. The Greek Freak also added 18 rebounds and finished just one assist shy of a triple-double. He had a steal and block as well. Giannis has seen his overall rebounding numbers fall this year, but this marks […]
Khris Middleton With Double-Double Against Raptors
Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton scored 24 points on 8-for-17 shooting in Wednesday's win over the Toronto Raptors. Middleton also grabbed 10 rebounds and dished out seven assists. He made five threes and had a steal as well. Middleton has been the sidekick that Giannis Antetokounmpo has needed this season and is averaging career highs […]
LeBron James Drops 34 Points In Loss To 76ers
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James followed up Monday's 46-point outburst with another strong showing in a loss to the 76ers. James scored 34 points with six rebounds, six assists, and two treys in 39 minutes. The four-time MVP has been unconscious in his last two games, averaging 40 points per game on 64.6 percent […]
Doug McDermott Scores 28 Points On Wednesday
Indiana Pacers forward Doug McDermott scored a team-high 28 points in Wednesday's win over the Charlotte Hornets. He was 12-for-22 from the floor and 1-for-5 from three. McDermott also grabbed five rebounds. The 29-year-old is having a resurgence this season, but after scoring just two points in the previous game there was some concern about […]
Michael Porter Jr. Records Season-High Four Steals
Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. compiled 17 points with five rebounds, four steals, three treys, and one assist in a victory over Miami. Porter looked shaky in his first game back this month but has really stepped up his play in the three games since, with averages of 20.3 points, 8.0 rebounds, 4.0 triples, […]
Pascal Siakam Starting Wednesday Against Bucks
Toronto Raptors forward Pascal Siakam (groin) will play and start Wednesday against the Milwaukee Bucks. Siakam was a game-time decision after dealing with a groin injury for the past few days, but seems good to go for this contest. The Raptors will need him with OG Anunoby (calf) out and facing the Bucks, the reigning […]
Goran Dragic, Tyler Herro, Jimmy Butler All Out Wednesday
The Miami Heat will be severely short-handed with point guard Goran Dragic (groin), guard Tyler Herro (neck) and guard/forward Jimmy Butler out Wednesday against the Denver Nuggets. Herro and Butler have missed several games with their ailments, but Dragic's injury is new, and the team might be resting him during the first game of a back-to-back. […]
Cam Reddish Available Wednesday Against Brooklyn
Atlanta Hawks guard/forward Cam Reddish (Achilles) will be available against the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday. Reddish has missed four of the past six games with Achilles soreness, but appears on track to play Wednesday after missing Tuesday. Reddish was able to play 28 minutes last time he was active, so he may have missed Tuesday […]
Danilo Gallinari Will Play Second Night Of Back-To-Back
Atlanta Hawks forward Danilo Gallinari (ankle) will play Wednesday against the Brooklyn Nets. Gallinari has been in and out of the lineup all year due to a nagging ankle injury and there was concern he would miss the second night of a back-to-back. However, Gallinari is playing, though there has not been any minutes restriction […]
OG Anunoby Ruled Out Wednesday
Toronto Raptors forward OG Anunoby (calf) will not play Wednesday against the Milwaukee Bucks. Anunoby was questionable to play with a calf injury, but ultimately could not feel good about playing. With Anunoby out, Chris Boucher should see an extended amount of minutes, especially with Pascal Siakam (groin) banged up. Norman Powell should also see […]
OG Anunoby Questionable Versus Bucks
Toronto Raptors forward OG Anunoby (calf) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. This would be a significant blow to the Raptors since Pascal Siakam (groin) is still banged up. Anunoby has been on fire over the last two games and is putting up video game numbers in those contests. He's […]
Cam Reddish Listed As Questionable On Wednesday
Atlanta Hawks forward Cam Reddish (Achilles) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He has already missed four games this month and it appears he could be in line for miss his fifth. The Hawks have been cautious with injuries this season, so it wouldn't be shocking to see them let […]
Royce O'Neale Scores Career-High 20 Points
Utah Jazz forward Royce O'Neale had a career night on Tuesday, leading the team with 20 points in a 108-94 win over the Knicks. The Jazz had a bunch of people struggling, including Donovan Mitchell who went 3-for-15 from the floor, so they needed somebody to step up and O'Neale answered the call. He shot […]
